Dear Pongeroon, my Siter-in-law works on a local mixed farm and loves it, she isn't very big but by the heck she is strong. :)

Shes a pretty good tractor driver as well, not that i would tell her that. :)

See what fun you have missed out on, :twisted: i also get invited to a few of the farmers parties, now they are nights to remember. :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Well him indoors is working this weekend and I am not soooooooooo could be driller killer loose in Reading :twisted:

Where are those Crystal Palace plans OH - should be child's play for an expert like me :wink: :lol:

Weed - last year No 1 husband 'helped' me to replace some trellis panels in the garden by the usual man method of shoving me aside whilst muttering Good God Woman! What are you trying to do. He then grabbed a huge hammer, whacked the top of the trellis, managed to let go of the hammer and it hit him right in the face :shock: Luckily he got away with a black eye and some damaged pride :wink: :lol:

Dear Sue, do you mean you have more than one husband. :shock: :lol:

And as for hitting himself with the hammer, you must have put him off just standing there watching. :twisted: :wink:

I'll keep my eye on the news for the 8th wonder of the world being built. :lol:

Dear Sue

I am absolutely sure that if I had shoved my Governor out of the way (all 5' 2" of her)it wouldn't have been the hammer that gave me a black eye.
I am in my own little world, ...it's OK, ...they know me there!

Dear OH - please do not be alarmed. I do only have 1 husband, but I just like to keep him on his toes :wink:

The 8th wonder construction was postponed due to me getting side tracked by digging the allotment. You know when you think I'll just do that little bit more...and that bit....and that bit. Needless to say I am somewhat knackered tonight :roll:

Weed, I'm only 5 foot 3, so must be something about us vertically challenged people that makes us extra feisty. I reckon you have to be to stand up to all the big people :wink: :lol:

Dear Sue, i'm so glad you do only have the one husband, my dear Mother warned me many years ago about Man eaters. :shock: :lol:

As regarding the 8th wonder of the world, we will have to wait in eager anticipation of it's construction. :) :wink:

Oi! I'm only 4'11" and done for by digging today.

Does that mean I've got another 4" of spare to use?
